I'm Not As Young As I Used To Be

I cleaned my car today. I feel like I climbed Mt. Everest. I am exhausted and I ache in places I used to never ache before. When did I move from young and athletic to old and decrepit???? I know, I'm a few pounds, uhhh, quite a few pounds heavier and a few years, make that a few decades older. Gee whiz!! I'm depressing myself.

Well, I have decided to go on a health regime. I have given this two weeks of thought and planning. I have also been watching the Biggest Loser this season. I am 51 years old but my according to them my biological age must be somewhere between 70 and 90. That is where I draw the line. I lost my twentyninth year moping because I was turning thirty only to find that I had moped away my twentyeigth instead. I decided at that particular juncture to not mind aging, but I refuse to do so faster than necessary. So I will use this blog to chronicle my adventure. I am not counting calories or carbs. I am going to eat healthier, more veggies, fruits, whole grains; less meats and sweets. I am going to 24 Hour Fitness three days a week at first and gradually increase the number of visits along with the amount of activity. I will hope to lose two pounds a week but will be satisified with any loss. I guess I should upload a starting picture and add new ones as I go so that I will do tomorrow. I will also begin the regime tomorrow because it is the first day of the week and in the famous words of Scarlett O'Hara - "tomorrow is another day."
